EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving takes us back in time to Portugal's bustling capital city, Lisbon. The image showcases the picturesque Tagus River and the iconic Praca do Comercio district, also known as Commerce Square. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life the architectural beauty of Lisbon during this era. From its elegant rooftops to its majestic buildings, every element exudes a sense of history and grandeur. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the harmonious blend of cityscape and nautical vessels along the river. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the rich maritime heritage that shaped Portugal's identity. The Tagus River served as a vital trading route for centuries, connecting Lisbon with distant lands across Europe and beyond. Commerce Square itself stands as a testament to Lisbon's economic importance during that time period. Its vast open space was once filled with merchants from all corners of the world, exchanging goods and ideas in an atmosphere buzzing with energy. Through this enchanting engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history - a glimpse into 19th-century Lisbon where architecture meets commerce on the banks of Tagus River.
